Chapter 2476 Agree
Doctor Lu worked so hard. That prescription has now spread all over the country, but at least he got something in return.
He'd been promoted last year, half due to his own advancement to the front lines, and half due to the prescription. At least the legacy of his ancestors hadn't been wasted.
However, the process of cultivating smallpox vaccines and various issues related to vaccination were all figured out bit by bit by him and Zhou Man.
From the end of January to now, he has stayed in the imperial farm for a full six months. During this six months, he only spent less than one-third of his rest days on vacation, and the rest of his time was basically spent in the imperial farm.
Except for sleeping and eating, he basically spent all the twelve hours of the day studying this, or going to the pharmacy to think about prescriptions, and his hair fell out in clumps.
Because it was funded by the emperor, coordinated by the Imperial Medical Bureau, and headed by Zhou Man, he did not refuse to teach his colleagues in the Imperial Medical Bureau, nor was he reluctant to teach students of the Imperial Medical Bureau. However, he even taught doctors from the folk, which was a bit too much.
What does it mean that those who plant trees will enjoy the shade?
That is, he, the predecessor, planted trees, and his descendants were able to obtain the skills and enjoy the shade under the trees he planted. It is like he learned the skills left by his ancestors and entered the Imperial Hospital, and then brought out the prescriptions to further advance in the Imperial Hospital.
Manbao seemed to know what he was thinking, so after he rejected Xiao Yuanzheng, he sat on a small stool with him and watched the sunset in the sky together.
Imperial Physician Lu knew that this proposal was made by Zhou Man. It should be said that Zhou Man was the only one in the entire Imperial Hospital who would make such a suggestion.
If it were someone else, he would have spat in their face, calling them a toad wanting to eat swan flesh, and coveting other people's ancestral heritage with wishful thinking.
But because it was Zhou Man, he endured it. God knows what her heart is like. Maybe she is naturally heartless, so she is not coveting her at all, but just thinking so.
So when he saw her sitting over, Doctor Lu picked up his small stool and sat on the other side, disdaining to sit at the same table with Zhou Man, no, in the same row.
Additional subordinates were added, and the medical assistants who lived in the same courtyard all crowded around the window to watch cautiously.
Today, the argument between Doctor Lu and Dean Xiao was heard by a medical assistant, and then spread to everyone.
However, at this time, Xiao Yuanzheng and other imperial physicians had left, and only two imperial physicians, Lu and Zhou, were left in the entire imperial farm.
Seeing that Doctor Lu was in a bad mood, Manbao hesitated for a moment and still did not move the stool over. According to her usual temper, she would move wherever he moved, and if she didn't make the other person angry to death, she would at least make him faint from anger.
But after thinking about it, she decided to forget it. Doctor Lu is not young anymore, so she should not make him angry.
Manbao just sat there without moving, three meters away from Doctor Lu. If the yard were bigger, it would probably be as far away as the Milky Way in the sky.
Manbao pondered his words for a long time, but couldn't come up with any good words of comfort, so he simply asked directly: "What do you want me to agree to?"
Doctor Lu glanced at her, and after a long silence, he couldn't help but snorted coldly and said, "Doctor Zhou, you have to leave us a livelihood for future generations, right?"
Man Bao was puzzled. "Everyone gets sick. As long as there are people in the world, there will always be sick people. Even if more people learn medicine, your descendants will still be able to see sick people."
Doctor Lu said, "But the ladder to heaven is only so wide, and there are few people, so there won't be too many people squeezing in with them."
He said: "Doctor Zhou, not everyone can be as talented as you. The strengths of us descendants are what our ancestors have accumulated. This is all we can leave for future generations."
Manbao opened her mouth and wanted to say the same thing as her mother: children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.
She thought, if we can’t even guarantee our own future and health, how can we plan for the future of our descendants?
But after looking at Doctor Lu with a frown on his face, Manbao swallowed his words.
There are parents with broad minds in the world, and naturally there are also parents who worry about their children and grandchildren.
Although Manbao didn't quite understand their thinking, he didn't refute them. Instead, he said, "Doctor Lu, the medical assistants who are learning vaccination with us now, the students of the Imperial Medical Bureau who will learn vaccination with us in the future, and the local medical staff who will return to the capital, they will also pass on the technology in the future. It's just that compared to our active teaching today, it will be a few years later, or even ten or twenty years later. By the time your descendants need to use these technologies, they may have spread throughout the country."
Doctor Lu’s face darkened slightly.
Manbao continued, "It's just like rice and wheat. After humans learned that they were edible and could be cultivated artificially, they spread. Now, throughout the world, wherever we know of, people who can grow rice are growing rice, and wherever they can grow wheat are growing wheat."
Doctor Lu said proudly, "Medical skills are not something you can learn just by wanting to. And even if you can learn it, it's still more complicated than farming."
Manbao didn't deny this. "But you have to know that medicine is a technology that concerns life. It's not like other crafts. People's pursuit of life has always been their greatest passion, no matter when. So if we keep a medical skill hidden, there will only be two results in the future: either it will be cut off from the inheritance and lost in history, or it will spread far and wide and become known to all doctors."
Manbao's understanding is not only because she is smarter than ordinary people, but more importantly, she has always had a medical master - Mr. Mo.
Teacher Mo is standing in the interstellar civilization and looking back, teaching Manbao on the way back.
When searching for prescriptions left over from history, he knew that more things had disappeared than remained. He and Manbao lamented the disappearance of these medical skills more than once. Many things had become historical mysteries. No matter how much effort future generations put into research, they still did not know their meaning. It was a pity.
If it was something else, Manbao wouldn't dare talk about passing it on lightly, because for some things, disappearance is better than existence, and spreading in a small range is more beneficial than spreading in a large range.
But this is a medical skill that cures diseases and saves lives, especially smallpox, which is a historically difficult disease to cure. For thousands of years, almost all doctors have been helpless when facing it. All they can do is give some medicine, and leave the rest to fate and rely on the patient to survive on his own.
Now that there is a prescription for preventing and treating smallpox, Manbao doesn't want this to happen again.
She said, "Doctor Lu, I think since this is going to spread all over the place in the future, why don't we take the initiative and gain some good reputation."
She tempted, "Maybe you'll be remembered in history in the future."
Doctor Lu wasn't very tempted. "I'm not a civil servant, why should I leave my name in history?"
He likes tangible benefits.
Manbao was a little angry when he heard this, and wanted to say, "Then I'll just give you something in exchange." But before he could finish his words, Doctor Lu sighed and said, "Forget it, spread it if you want."
Manbao swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and asked curiously, "Why did you agree so suddenly?"
Manbao: I am also very stingy, I will save it for other good things next time
See you at 9pm
